Hey guys! I am greatly grateful if you are still here, reading my stuff up to this point, even after I went MIA the past few months.
I have been binge watching Gary Vee's youtube channel (you should watch his stuff if you're into self-improvement and/or business) and one of the numerous things he said that stuck to me was to 'document the journey' instead of 'creating'. That's exactly what I'm planning to do for a month from today and see if it works for me and for you guys.
So here it is, a highlight of my thoughts, feelings, experience today:
Why, exactly is sex highly valued in our society? As in, why is it a taboo to talk about in any group other than your close friends, especially if you are a woman? I grew up in a religious household so I am aware of the bible describing it as impure when done so with anyone that is not yet your wife or husband. Adding my Asian upbringing to that, you can probably guess I was that stereotypical church (and Asian) girl who wanted to save up her purity for marriage.
But now I'm wondering, what the heck is purity anyways? And why does engaging in an intimate act with another human being considered as impure? Was it impure to get so physically close and vulnerable to another human being without them marrying you first? Then why is it not impure to get emotionally close to another human being? I've searched a bit on google and it said that having sex for pleasure is considered dirty. If pleasured is considered as dirty, then would it be a sin if you were to have an interesting conversation with someone? Your brain's reward system is activated at that time too, making you feel pleasure.
If you consider yourself as a religious person, please do enlighten me about your thoughts regarding this matter. If you're not a religious person or are in-between, tell me what you think about it also!
